That's not true at all. PhysX comes with a CPU solver by default, and using the GPU version comes with significant restrictions in customising the behaviour. Unreal Engine games (when they used to use PhysX) were all CPU based, for example.
The hardest part is digitizing those notes. Once digitized, the best approach is to make copies every few years. Copying of digital data is easy and lossless, and the cost of
digital storage is constantly going down.
That Armoury Crate bullshit is embeded inside the UEFI ROM. It's called Windows Platform Binary Table (WPBT). I can't distinguish it from malware. Trully disgusting.
I didn't even know about the WPBT until I read this, that is truly horrifying. It's also probably a good attack vector for someone trying to install malware which persists on the machine even after reinstallation.
